These engaging sessions offer attendees a chance to learn from FFRF experts and speakers, connect with fellow freethinkers, and learn tools for advancing freethought and secularism in their communities.

Whether you’re looking to sharpen your advocacy skills, get more involved with FFRF, or connect with other members of the freethought community, there’s a workshop for you.
All workshops will take place in the Baird Center’s S100 meeting rooms, conveniently located near the ballroom.
Following the workshops, attendees are invited to a complimentary late-afternoon reception at the Hilton before returning to the Baird Center for Rep. Huffman’s evening keynote address.
